| Pass the salt: Common condiment could enable new high-tech industry -- silicon nanostructures Posted: 08 Aug 2013 11:21 AM PDT Chemists have identified a compound that could significantly reduce the cost and potentially enable the mass commercial production of silicon nanostructures -- materials that have huge potential in everything from electronics to biomedicine and energy storage. This extraordinary compound is called table salt. |
| Robot treats brain clots with steerable needles Posted: 08 Aug 2013 11:21 AM PDT Surgery to relieve the damaging pressure caused by hemorrhaging in the brain is a perfect job for a robot. That is the basic premise of a new image-guided surgical system under development. |
| Atomic clock can simulate quantum magnetism Posted: 08 Aug 2013 11:21 AM PDT Researchers have for the first time used an atomic clock as a quantum simulator, mimicking the behavior of a different, more complex quantum system. All but the smallest, most trivial quantum systems are too complicated to simulate on classical computers, hence the interest in quantum simulators to understand the quantum mechanical behavior of exotic materials such as high-temperature superconductors. |
| Terahertz technology fights fashion fraud Posted: 08 Aug 2013 09:41 AM PDT Scientists have demonstrated how a technique called terahertz time-domain spectroscopy could be used to help spot fakes and combat textile counterfeiting. |
| Do fish feel pain? Not as humans do, study suggests Posted: 08 Aug 2013 09:37 AM PDT Fish do not feel pain the way humans do, according to a team of neurobiologists, behavioral ecologists and fishery scientists. The researchers conclude that fish do not have the neuro-physiological capacity for a conscious awareness of pain. |
| Angry opponents seem bigger to tied up men Posted: 07 Aug 2013 05:48 PM PDT A physical handicap like being tied down makes men over-estimate an opponent's size and under-estimate their own, according to new research. |
| Belief in precognition increases sense of control over life Posted: 07 Aug 2013 05:48 PM PDT People given scientific evidence supporting our ability to predict the future feel a greater sense of control over their lives, according to new research. |
